Trust enabled battlefields

[Camate]

Hello, everyone!

Thanks for sharing a helpful resource, BungiefanNA.

Just to give you some idea of what we have planned for the future, in the August version update we will be adding alter ego support for the latter-half of the Treasures of Aht Urhgan missions and sometime after September we would like to add support for Rise of the Zilart missions. However, the current priority is for Seekers of Adoulin missions.

What does this actually mean? Why is it so hard to simply allow Trust NPCs into ALL instanced content? What mechanics allow for example NPCs to enter the COP instanced content but not the Zilart instanced content.

I just don't 'get' how it's a technical problem. I fully 'get' you may now want to ALLOW it for some 'balance' reason (though God knows I often fail to understand the dev's fixation on that at all costs) but your replies imply there are technical reasons. Care to share?

They have to enable Trust for each individual battlefield instance. Doing so has broken things before, so they have to QA each battlefield they implement this on. There are some battlefields that they also don't want this on, such as Maat fights and level 20 Avatar battles, since they are meant to be solo. There's also the matter that battlefields that remove buffs tend to remove Trusts, so they have to check for a variety of things in each battlefield.
